My philosophy about Upgrades of Windows has been to wait and get the new OS version preinstalled on a brand new PC.


The Windows 11 upgrade may improve security and may offer some changes you would like, but for the most part I think you will be annoyed by the arbitrary changes to the way your computer works, as well as the loss of some of your favorite features. My advice is to avoid this Upgrade for now. You may already have gotten a pop-up asking you to upgrade now, or telling you that you will be eligible soon.Īlternately, if you go into your Settings and then click Update and Security you might see a notice like this: If you have a computer running Windows 10, there’s a good chance you will get an offer to upgrade your computer to Windows 11 for free in the coming days. There is a new upgrade available from Microsoft. West Coast Technology safe and stay healthy! Do not hesitate to call me with any questions or concerns, as I know this is a major change. I’m happy to schedule any in-person visits during this time, so please contact me to set up a time.Īs always, thank you for your business, and continued trust in my services. I will be back in Portland end the of March, and would love to see you if availability allows. Invoices will continue to use my Portland PO Box until I get an office set up here in New Hampshire (mail is being forwarded to me on a regular basis). Please review these changes and let me know if you need additional information. There will be a $10.00/computer monthly fee, which will be further detailed in a Services Agreement Addendum you will receive this week in your email. In order to better serve you via remote access, we will need you to add remote access, reporting and management software to all of your computers. I have known Justin for over 7 years, and he is not only excellent at what he does, but our businesses are similar in make-up and philosophy, and I trust him completely, Justin Swall owns JPS Enterprises and is a long-time peer and member of the Oregon Computer Consulting Association (he’s currently the President!). What does this mean for my clients? Well, the good news is that I am going to be keeping the Pro Activist business running, utilizing both remote support, as well as a close associate of mine whom will be taking over in-person visits. It’s a good time in our lives to make this transition, and we needed to take the opportunity to sell our home in Portland and make a quick move. Over the past few months, my partner Kristen, my partner Kristin and I decided to move to New Hampshire in order to be closer to her family.

I had hoped to send out this newsletter a few weeks ago, but life has been coming at me pretty fast recently.
